  • US and EU comrades should see Argentina as a warning for what is going to happen in their countries.

  • Tw: kinda ranting about job I have And I understand that my current isn't the point it is kinda important to know that in some sectors of the united states this is already happening or at least something getting close is

    I work 12 hour days but some people at my workplace work as much as 24 hour shifts working every other day

    I get 5 personal days per year that are also my sick days and starting next year I can request up to 5 vacation days

    They can call me in at any time if they need someone

    They can fire me at any time for any reason with no warning

    And since I am considered essential public safety personnel it is illegal to strike unless we go through a massive series of steps and even then they could make it criminal very easily

    This isn't the same as what is going on over there but still this country is not going well and I feel it is important people know that there isn't even the degree of separation of it going on in another country this is happening in the united states right now

  • Hi ex-liberal and ex-fascist, How did you overcome the Red Scare and learn about the truth on the USSR and AES countries?

    Jump

  • I was gonna give a longer explanation that goes into detail but it was a combination of a large amount of things

    1. I was raised with a general distrust of the government so when I eventually found things that they were actually lying about instead of random shit i was ready to believe it especially since there was actual evidence to go with instead of just because its th gubmet
    2. I happened to fall into slightly more left wing circles who were willing to actually answer my stupid ass loaded questions that at the time I didnt know were loaded
    3. And this is a really big one, I realized that crippling gender dysphoria is not a normal state for every cis dude and that I am in fact trans more importantly related to that is that the conservative people I know overwhelmingly hate trans people
    4. related to 3 but the fact that people on the left let me question my identity and beliefs without judgement for the absolutely stupid shit I believed at the time

  • Is US healthcare always paid even in the most extreme circumstances?

    Jump

  • They are legally required to help no matter your ability to pay but that doesn't mean they won't try their best to force you into debt after

  • Bitwarden 2026 Data Privacy Week survey results

    Jump

  • I use it for school shit because they don't work with iceraven(my preferred mobile Firefox fork)

  • How to link Signal to my desktop without a cellphone?

    Jump

  • I use it but just barely because it is better than things like discord for mildly sensitive stuff

  • What do you want out of someone you're on a first date with?

    Jump

  • Dont really know because I have been on a single first date and it was with my at the time best friend who I am now engaged to so that isn't exactly a standard situation

    We watched a pirated movie in my bedroom for the first one and the second one was a multi mile hike On a mountain with no cell Service so neither would be a normal early in relationship activities

  • Linux Mint isn't the answer for Windows refugees anymore

    Jump

  • I still use mint for my daily driver office laptop because I works well right out of the box but you still have the level of software fuckary that let's it be fun to mess with

  • Do you think anonymous online existence leads to the development of an unhealthy mindset?

    Jump

  • Sorry I'd that didn't make much sense, it got into an emotional topic and I am not good with staying composed or structuring things while emotional

  • Do you think anonymous online existence leads to the development of an unhealthy mindset?

    Jump

  • I dont think that the anonymity or the not being tied down are really that bad

    The getting to try on a new face online with no judgement or ties to my in person life have if anything led me into becoming the person I am today

    If I hadn't made a new set of accounts when I started thinking I could be trans I wouldn't have survived this long because I would have kept all that dysphoria bottled up until my life would have ended far before the point I am at now

    If i hadn't been able to make new accounts for asking political questions about things I didnt want people to know I was questioning I wouldn't have been able to form the views I have today because I would have stayed stuck in the free market capitalist bubble I was in for most of my life.

    The anonymity allows for new connections and growth just as much if not more than the amount of issues it caused and at least in my opinion showcases the kindness of people because even with that non personal connection my life has been saved several times by people whose names I will never know and faces I will never see just like they won't ever see my face and most won't know my name

  • Lidocane patches or gel are always good,

    Muscle spasms a tense unit could maybe help with

    I am not a person who has delt with that kind of issue but I know some basic stuff

    You can get strong lidocane patches and some other meds, if you could get it it is possible to buy numbing meds that can be injected into the affected area for stronger temporary relief but I dont know your comfort level with diy-ing light medical procedures

    In nc either Baptist or preferably atrium would be where to take them but idk anything about Virginia hospitals

  • What are some free Android games that are really good?

    Jump

  • Firstly I need to agree with the posts saying shattered pixel dungeon

    Second if you haven't seen anything on it look into https://www.luanti.org/en/

    It is technically just a game engine but there are a bunch of games on it including one called minetest that is very similar to Minecraft

    Other bonus is that the engine and thus all the games run on windows, android, Linux and I think Mac

    Other fun options but they are technically ports and are technically maybe paid

    1 there is software to add Mobile controls to old wolfenstein and doom games

    2 you can get a gba emulator like lemudroid from f-droid and play any gba game you can get a ROM for

    (Some of the ROMs can be found on archive.org for free if you look)
